Mario Balotelli Subject Of Foul-Mouthed Rant From Bastia Boss Following Nice Draw

Bastia manager Francois Ciccolini launched a scathing rant at Mario Balotelli on Friday after Nice’s 1-1 away draw with Bastia at the Stade Armand Cesar.

The foul-mouthed rant was launched at Balotelli in the players’ tunnel as the footballers and staff was heading towards their dressing room.

However it is still not clear how the argument started but is believed that it is related with Balotelli’s racial abuse claims.

Balotelli had insisted that he was the subject of monkey chants from a section of Bastia fans during the match.

And now the French Football authorities have started an investigation into Balotelli’s racial claims.

Yesterday the result against Bastia was right.. we will work more and try to get our objective.. the referee was good too?? but I have a question for French people.. Is it normal that Bastia supporters make monkey noise end “uh uh” for the whole game and no one of the “commissions discipline ” say nothing? So is racism LEGAL in France? Or only in Bastia ? Football is an amazing sport .. those people like Bastia supporters make it horrible ! VERGOGNA DAVVERO. UNE VRAIE HONTE .

After the game, Balotelli was seen telling something to Ciccolini which really tested his temper.

The Bastia manager replied: “Shut the f*** up. You respect nothing. Do you think I am scared of you?”

“You think I’m scared of you? Go f*** yourself – where do you think you are?”
